ALAS !

An oil lamp

Wearily burns

Beside my bed

Where I lay down

My head down

My head to rest.

I see misery

On the faces

Hovering around me,

Not knowing me,

Death might strike.

I whom death

Awaits to claim

Am not afraid.

I will welcome her

With open arms.

Alas,

There are only tears to offer

In relief and

My wasted form.
